Operating Leases. Under this type of lease, the equipment remains the property of the lessor (the person who leases the equipment). The costs of operating leases can be claimed if it can be shown that the costs of the lease are competitive and are similar to the rates charged in the market place. However, if a leasing charge for equipment (in any one year) goes over, or closely matches, the full cost of buying the item it would be seen as an attempt to introduce capital expenditure as an eligible item under a different heading, and capital expenditure (over £1,000) is not eligible.
